G. Pull Boxes

1. Pull boxes shown in the Drawings are generally a minimum requirement that assumes the

conduit run shall be the length indicated and there shall be no more bends than indicated.

Actual site conditions and field coordination with other trades usually result in additional

bends in the conduit and sometimes cause the length of the run to be greater than shown.

Therefore, install pull boxes in all telecommunications conduit runs so that the following

conditions are met:

a. Install pull boxes as required in conduit runs so that the distance between pull

points is less than 100 feet.

b. Install pull boxes in conduit runs so that a run of conduit does not contain more

than the equivalent of two (2) ninety degree bends (180 degrees total) between

pull points.

c. No single bend greater than 90 degrees.

d. For reverse bends (between 100 and 180 degree), Insert a pull box at each bend.

e. An offset shall be considered equivalent to a 90 degree bend.

f. Install pull boxes only in straight sections of conduit, not in lieu of a bend. Con-

duits that enter the pull box from opposite ends with each other should be

aligned.

a. Abandoned Object: Detects objects placed within a defined zone and triggers an alarm if the

object remains in the zone longer than the user-defined time allows. An airport terminal is a





01/07/16


typical installation for this behavior. This behavior can also detect objects left behind at an

ATM, signaling possible card skimming.

b. Adaptive Motion: Detects and tracks objects that enter a scene and then triggers an alarm

when the objects enter a user-defined zone. This behavior is primarily used in outdoor

environments with light traffic to reduce the number of false alarms caused by environmental

changes.

c. Camera Sabotage: Detects contrast changes in the field of view. An alarm is triggered if the

lens is obstructed with spray paint, a cloth, or a lens cap. Any unauthorized repositioning of

the camera also triggers an alarm.

d. Directional Motion: Generates an alarm in a high traffic area when a person or object moves

in a specified direction. Typical installations for this behavior include an airport gate or tunnel

where cameras can detect objects moving in the opposite direction of the normal flow of

traffic or an individual entering through an exit door.

e. Loitering Detection: Identifies when people or vehicles remain in a defined zone longer than

the user-defined time allows. This behavior is effective in real-time notification of suspicious

behavior around ATMs, stairwells, and school grounds.

f. Object Counting: Counts the number of objects that enter a defined zone or cross a tripwire.

This behavior might be used to count the number of people at a store entrance/exit or inside a

store where the traffic is light. This behavior is based on tracking and does not count people in

a crowded setting.

g. Object Removal: Triggers an alarm if an object is removed from a defined zone. This

behavior is ideal for customers who want to detect the removal of high value objects, such as

a painting from a wall or a statue from a pedestal.

h. Stopped Vehicle: Detects vehicles stopped near a sensitive area longer than the user-defined

time allows. This behavior is ideal for airport curbside drop-offs, parking enforcement,

suspicious parking, traffic lane breakdowns, and vehicles waiting at gates.

CC. The environmental network dome camera shall be vandal and tamper resistant with an impact resistance

exceeding rating of K10++ (50 Joules) per IEC 62262.
